ARRICA ROSE AND THE …'S Let Alone Sea pOprOck Records It's rare to come across a recording that has synced the three pillars of memorable modern popular music—song, style, and personae. Arrica Rose and her band, the ...'s, new record Let Alone Sea is as close as I've heard in ages. It's winning as a piece of song-craft. Melodies that soar and poetry that conveys real emotion.

Grant Langston has a handlebar mustache. He is from Alabama and he plays country-rock. Stand Up Man is filled with solid musicians and loads of twang, but suffers from overproduction and cheesy cliché moments. Langston has a decent voice and can hit the notes but he lacks the lower range that would help him pull these songs out of the lackluster swamp they're swimming in. It's easy to hear that Langston enjoys his Waylon & Willie, but he still needs to find his own voice.
Dans la lignée de Buck Owens, Merle Haggard et Dwight Yoakam, Grant Langston perpétue la tradition de la country à la sauce californienne. Originaire de l'Alabama, il émigre à Los Angeles où les vibrations du Bakersfield Sound se font encore bien sentir. En résultent 5 albums dont le dernier en date s'intitule Stand Up Man.Le morceau-titre qui ouvre l'album annonce la couleur : du honky-tonk
